Auckland to Dunedin EXCLUSION OF PALMERSTON FURTHER PROTESTS MADE (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Further protests were made to-day against the proposals of the Transport Co-ordination Board to exclude Palmerston North from the Auckland .—Dunedin main trunk service. Mr. T. C. A. Hislop, Mayor of Wellington, replied at length to a further statement from the Board. He said it contained many noticeable inconsistencies. The Wellington City Council had no inkling of the possibility of Palmerston being excluded until the Board’s announcement was made in April, and naturally had made no representations in that respect.
He questioned whether the action of the Board in dealing with the Palmerston issue in camera and in declining to hear the City Council representatives was in accordance with the Act. That was a matter for further consideration, and such action as was deemed advisable.
A protest in similar strain was made also by Mr. Andrews, Mayor of Lower Hutt, who also said that there had been nothing to suggest the possibility of the exclusion of Palmerston.
